Australia's master storyteller Colin Thiele returns to the magical world of the wild pelicans in this outstanding audiobook.

At rare intervals, great floods fill the desert basin of Lake Eyre in Central Australia, and for a while, wildlife teems along the shore. But the miracle is short-lived. In the fierce summer heat, the lake shrinks, the water turns to brine and the fish die. Birds such as pelicans then face a vast flight across the desert to the southern coast, and many die along the way. Pannikin and Pinta is the story of a pelican family that sets out on a heroic journey.

'Although Thiele is known as a writer of children’s and young adult stories, he has an ageless style which makes this story suitable for all... Beautiful.'
Aussie Reviews

'Colin Thiele evokes strong emotions ... because he writes the right things at the right moments. He creates intriguing characters, and how he describes them so well and how much emotion he puts into it really catches me.' (on Storm Boy)
